This 1991 film was writer-director Trent Harris' most mainstream film--which is to say that it's still pretty odd. Crispin Glover stars as a reclusive mama's boy living in an isolated motel, dreaming of a poster pinup girl and mourning the death of his cat. One day he crosses paths with failed a failed motivational salesman (Howard Hesseman), and the two embark on a cross-country road trip to bury the cat. This quirky buddy comedy has become a major cult curiosity over the years. Part of the Trent Harris Film Festival 82 minutes (Opens Thursday 12/5)
